Link routes to groups

Why you would like to link routes to groups

The advantage is that routes of similar themes can be found back easily. If a person is interested in the specific route-theme, they can easily find back your route.

A large set of collector-groups have been made to link your routes to. Examples are Rollerblade routes, City routes, Architecture routes, Art routes, History routes, Geo routes, Forest routes, Worldwar routes,... But you can always make your own group too, with a new theme. And you can link (public routes) to your new collector group. You can find groups via the QuickSearch (top right) or via GROUPS->List.

How to link a route to a group?

While creating a route

When you create or upload a route, you arrive at a page where you are asked to link your route to your group or a public group. Once you linked your route to a group, the route is made public. If you don't want to make your route public, don't link it to a group! The group-owner can always decide to remove your route from the group, if not relevant. You can always disconnect your route from any group.

After you created a route

You can always link you route to a group at any time. You will see in your route-list a small chain-icon (eg. 'MY SPACE'). If you click on the icon, you can select a group to link the route to.

Using the administration option of a group

As owner of the group or group-admin, you can link your routes and public routes to your group. You need to make a group first: This can be done via GROUPS -> New. Go via 'MY SPACE' to see the groups you own. Click on the group, and you will see the administration option as a tab. Click on the tab administration and click on the sub-tab 'Routes'. The rest should be obvious.

An example

Here is an example of a route-group linked to places with the theme Worldwar I or II.

Groups in the RouteHeader

At the top of each route, the avatar of the author, the name of the author and the groups the route belongs to is presented. This allows you to navigate very easily from route to group to route to author,...
